Saint George is one of the best known Christian figure.
He was a Roman soldier famous for his bravery. He stood up against Christians being tortured.
According to a legend, he slaughtered a dragon in a town in Libya and resued the King's daughter. The townsfolk converted to Christianity. Saint George symbolizes the victory of the Christian faith over evil (the dragon). He was chosen as the patron saint of England and his cross was adopted as the English flag. His red cross is part of the Union Jack too.

GERONIMO'S LIFE
Geronimo, or Goyathlay, was born in 1829. He was an Apache. He was known for his incredible invulnerability and he was given the name of Geronimo. When Geronimo and his people were removed from their lands, he rebelled. He made the promise that his people would return to their lands, but the promise was never kept.
Geronimo was the leader of the last American Indian fighting force. Because he fought with extraordinary courage, he became the most famous Apache of all. He died in 1909.
